Stuck ring?
Looks like a nice little project. Hows the crank?

I am gonna run that piston because they are NLA and its not in bad shape. Slight carbon smear on the exhaust side but cleanable. Gonna get a ring, wrist pin bearing and run it.

The crank is in awesome shape. Very very little play and the ring isn’t stuck.

Looks like its in good shape. They sure are rugged little saws.

Definitely would run that piston with a new ring. Just smooth it over with very fine grit sandpaper. I reused a 066 oem piston recently that had a few minor scuffs from ingesting something. I smoothed the high spots over and got new rings. Compression is great.

I might or might not port it.. Dont know yet.

As of right now, we have most of the parts ordered and are waiting on a call from our local Hooskie dealer to pick them up. The bearings wont get to our house until the January 7th .

Why are you replacing the wrist pin bearing? Is it bad?

Not a Husky pro, so I don’t know. Will a 262 P/C fit on that case and under that hood?

It's very similar to a 262, 2mm shorter stroke though. I always wanted to try and put a 262 P/C on one.

It’s actually not a shorter stroke, it has a shorter connecting rod

I always replace the wrist pin bearing on a rebuild, just because.

A 262 cylinder will bolt on but won’t fit under the cover. Would also need a crank from a 261/262 or 257.

Correct my bad for not clarifying, 2mm shorter rod.

I always do get a new wrist pin bearing when I am rebuilding a saw. Just for extra assurance
